Magento is the fastest growing eCommerce platform in the world, making it highly innovative and providing users with leading edge technology which gives them a competitive advantage in this rapidly changing industry.

Magento Enterprise Edition

Magento Enterprise Edition is a fully supported suite backed with an industry leading SLA (Service Level Agreement) and hence is ideal for corporate clients with business critical eCommerce requirements.

Compared to the Magento Community Edition the Magento Enterprise Edition offers:

• improved marketing functionality (loyalty program) 
• more webmanage functionality (rights & roles)
• support by Varien, the owner and creator of Magento

The choice between Magento Enterprise and the Magento open source software is based on your requirements and needs. Although Crimsonwing is perfectly suited for enterprise eCommerce projects, we can offer a cost-effective, reliable Magento solution on both platforms and provide you with the needed guidance and expertise to make the right decision.

The Magento Enterprise Edition will give your business the following benefits:

  user experience will attract and convert more qualified
  customers, leading to business growth.

Magento - Open Source Software

Open Source is a model where a wide net of extra-organisational participants and communities work together to create a unique and innovative product, such as Magento. It is believed that today’s innovations require knowledge and input from a wider variety of people and technologies than can be found within a single organisation, or even nation. This is what sets Magento apart from other platforms and gives it such a leading edge technology.

Running open source software for your business processes has its advantages and disadvantages. Often the lack of support from a reliable IT development company is used as a reason to select a license based solution. Crimsonwing has become a Magento Enterprise Partner to take away that discussion.

• Magento Enterprise Partners have direct contact with the Varien development team for urgent problems
• Crimsonwing's years of eCommerce expertise and development of custom specific functionality creates a reliable project environment.

Varien, the company behind Magento, has been an experienced player in the open source eCommerce segment since 2001, leveraging the power of open source technology to help online merchants fulfil their business goals. With Magento businesses can achieve all this at a fraction of the cost and time of proprietary eCommerce solutions.

A recent report by O’Reilly Research (“Open Source in Enterprises”) on the usage of open source platforms in enterprises provides numerous reasons for the success and growth of open source software. It reveals how enterprises are leveraging open source software to save money, gain control, and innovate in an era of “Doing More With Less”.

Crimsonwing has established a Magento practice to offer its clients a choice of eCommerce platforms and we are confident to be able to give you the right advice for the solution that fits your business best.
